Hi,

For those of you with a water meter.

Would you be kind enough to give me a rough idea on what sort of price I can expect to pay annually for my 300,000 litres (pure/waste) of window cleaning water?

I'm in the south east, and I've tried to work it out, but I don't trust my calculations.

300,000 litres is 300 cubic metres. Roughly £3.50 or so per cubic metre depending on where you are so about £1,000

But...

Pop a meter of you own on there, let the water company know you've done it and give them your reading every time they send you a bill and they'll not charge you the sewerage part of the bill, typically about 2/3 of the bill, dropping you down to closer to £350 or so.

You may need to hassle them to recognise what you're doing, so do it all in writing and keep copies. You'll get there if you persist.

You don't need to put a meter on, I get that rebate after speaking to my water company and I don't have the secondary meter.

Depends on the water authority mine insisted that a secondary meter was fitted and sealed by them before I could get the discount but now don’t pay the sewage charge on the water for the  vans

So, am I right in assuming that as I am on a septic tank I won't be paying the for the water going into the drainage system?

I would assume you are paying for the water only , have a look on your water bill it will tell you on there what the charges are mine shows a water charge and a sewage charge

 Not sure how septic tanks are rated but you may well be right which would make it fit in the £350 or so range. Just look at your last water bill for the input price per m² and multiply accordingly.
